How Many2

Wonder how many farmers will quit
raising corn because the crop is short
this season. How many are declaring

account of poor success in the start?
Every thing and every body have their

season just closing, has had a rough
time. This is no reason why the bust
ness should be denounced for tho
chances are that another sprin will
brighten up the whole farming world.
